Don65Stang's 73 vert planning and ideas thread

[midlife]

FC = Frank Cone, who made very special Mustangs, based out of Texas. He owned a stealership.

The FC used to be a running gag that caused quite a stir on this site, don't you remember?

 

[Don65Stang]

ah, I see. It went right over my head. I was trying to think of a serious answer as to what FC meant.

If you have all the parts a "spring special" look would be great. I'm weak for blue with argent accents. I would have used that combo but I have two other blue cars. I would use a color available in 71-73 just to protect the value.

What interior color are you considering? Chuck

The blue glow with argent accents rock. That's my all time favorite combo. It would also look awesome with the trim rings and dog dish caps. If blue, I think I would go with the argent 73 side stripe.

I'm going to leave the interior white but go with a black top.

Blue glow is not out of the running

It's one of my favorite colors for our cars. I really like the sound of what you've suggested and want to do a mock up of it.

I think the 15" rings and caps look great on both colors but have a slight edge on the darker colored blue glow.

I think the darker blue glow would be a good call, what color wheels??? Chrome, black, polished? I say why stop at the aesthetics, through a Coyote motor in that 'Vert!

I was actually just thinking that maybe with the darker blue glow, instead of black striping, do like a dark charcoal or dark grey, under the clear still of course!

Mmmm, dark charcoal or dark silver would look good with blue glow.

If blue glow then wheels will be the 15" dog dish and trim rings.

Pretty cool Tim! Have any more pics? Got a side shot?

Don,

unfortunatley not at the moment - I will tell it to my dad...

Man, I should do this for a living! Only restore 71-73 Mustangs, that could be the life... There is always life after retiring from the military, probably have to build electric ones by then!

White and black.

I'm partial to yellow....I have the stripes just waiting to go back on mine......but need to touch up one fender again.

Did I miss an opportunity to rehash this tired old Frank Cone picture joke?

Blue Glow and dark charcoal sounds like a great combo

That's the combo I've been thinking about the most over the last few days. I meet with the body guy Monday for him to look it over.

With the 73 stripe should be very nice

What would this scheme look like on a Mustang? Any photoshopr's?
